Teen Lab at the Art Institute of Chicago
Get To Know Me: Katie
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR ARTISTIC STYLE?
I don't know about my style, I just draw whatever comes to mind. I know that my art has a lot to do with my emotions and how I view things so I definitely add those on. Whatever I may be feeling changes the style.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO CREATE?
I think, the first person who ever inspired me to create was my art teacher in the 6th grade. He showed so much passion about art and I was like, "Oh my god that's so cool! I want something like that'. So he helped me develop.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS? DOES IT START WITH A SKETCH, A PHOTO, OR AN IDEA?
Usually I want to sit down but it depends. Lets say its for Teen Lab, they want to show me [artists] and I need them to elaborate so that I can create very detailed things for me piece. But when I'm at home, it's whatever comes to mind.
WHAT DOES TEEN LAB MEAN TO YOU?
It means a lot because I usually come here and I'm really happy.
